the pic look over exposed,if the term is correct.

too bright from normal.

yeah, i bet its touched on.

If a man could beat his own fantasy. Then to only breed in captivity. Then its pointless.

Genesis 1:20

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

First, the T5s... 2 tubes of ATI T5 39 Watt 36" True Actinic.... Atu got it fixed on the custom aluminium frame.

A lousy front tank shot for now. I haven't had the time yesterday to get out my tripod and camera to take a nice shot. I also have to figure out what the white balance tweaking should be. The photos don't represent the true colour I see with my eyes.... :cry2:

Hi, just wonder how do you prevent rain from the side? I am struggling to find a good solution (mine is at the balcony with rain that can come in by the side).. I fixed up a blind by the side but lately the wind is so strong at night and i dun think it is a long term solution (the blind might give way??).. I know u have experience previously as well (fresh water?) so wonder what do u use to block the rain? :thanks:

Bro,

Get a contractor to come and build an acrylic roof and side for you... should cost round about $300 to $400 ++.

hi bro,thanks for the pic.

juz to let u know, my former MH was something like that too.

the screws are the 1 holding the MH. so make sure u "maintain" or watch them once they rust they will become weak and falls off.

but may take some time.. which is even more dangerous bcos we tend to forget it since its there for years haha.

MH dropping in is no joke :)

I know what you mean! :pirate: I'll definitely keep a look out. I might just hook up the frame to the aluminium roof I'm having built just to be safe. Thanks for the reminder! :thanks:
